Ffmpeg

Merge multiple video files using FFmpeg.

Overview

This node provides video processing capabilities using FFmpeg, supporting operations such as merging multiple videos, overlaying audio onto video, retrieving video information, and executing custom FFmpeg commands. It is useful for automating video editing workflows, such as combining clips, adding audio tracks, or applying custom video transformations via FFmpeg commands.

Use Case Examples

  1. Merging multiple video files into a single output video.
  2. Overlaying an audio track onto a video file.
  3. Extracting metadata or information from a video file.
  4. Running a custom FFmpeg command to apply specific video filters or transformations.

Properties

Name Meaning
Output File Name Specifies the name of the output video file generated by the operation.
Output Binary Property Defines the name of the binary property where the output video file will be stored.
Custom FFmpeg Command Allows the user to enter a custom FFmpeg command, using placeholders {input} for the input file and {output} for the output file, to perform custom video processing.

Output

Binary

Contains the processed video file data under the specified output binary property.

JSON

  • `` - The output JSON structure depends on the specific operation executed but generally includes metadata or status of the video processing result.

Dependencies

  • Requires FFmpeg to be installed and accessible in the environment where the node runs.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure that the input files meet the minimum required number for merging operations.
  • Verify that the FFmpeg command syntax is correct, especially when using custom commands.
  • Check that the output file name and binary property names are valid and do not conflict with existing data.
  • Common errors may include file not found, invalid FFmpeg arguments, or unsupported input formats. Resolving these involves validating input files and command parameters.
